How to Fix Problem - Data Label Edits?

Data Label Edits

I'm somewhat new to Pivot Tables.summarising data in a Pivot Table.My Data labels display Sum of Cash, Sum of Checks, etc.How can I edit the label to display: Cash, Checks, etc.? When I try, a message says "Pivot Table field already exists".

Solutions to the Problem Data Label Edits

You get that message because you have a pivot table field called Cash, when you add that as a data field, Excel helpfully changes it to Sum of Cash.You can edit the label to "Cash " (with a space after it), but you can't change it to a field that already exists.One way to get around the problem is to use field names in the source data that are more descriptive than you need in the finished pivot table report.i.e.instead of Cash, use fldCashFromMyDataSource or fldCashMYOB, then change the field header in the pivot table back to something more user-friendly.
